Now in its tenth edition, the Nitehawk Shorts Festival is the annual home for the independent short film community in New York.

We are thrilled to present the 2024 program of the Nitehawk Shorts Festival, celebrating a vibrant group of emerging filmmakers, many of them local to New York City. With almost every single short coming from submissions, we truly were knocked out by all the incredible work being produced, from character study documentaries, to boldly kinetic animations, to narratives that run the gamut from daring humor to quiet reflection.

Prospect Park screenings are listed below; also check out our Williamsburg schedule.
